Yoga Instructors in Modesto, California (Stanislaus County)

I have a background in dance, aerobics, personal training, Pilates, and yoga. I am certified through Yoga Alliance, Stott Mat Pilates trained, and AFAA personal trainer and group fitness certified. I have been in the fitness industry since 1995, and have been teaching yoga since 1997. Yoga, Pilates, and overall fitness have been the driving force and passion in my life.

I realized that by balancing my body through yoga, I was better able to achieve the right balance in my life, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. My outlook on life was more positive, became simpler and less stressful. My overall health and relationships improved, and I stressed the little things less and less. I found that when life seems to pull me in many directions, this reminds me of the simplicity of life. Just take a few deep breaths and cherish living in the moment.

It has always been my passion to share my love of fitness with others, and opening my own studio is a dream realized in achieving this personal and professional goal.

We believe in providing an effective and exciting workout that builds strength and endurance, without adding unnecessary bulk. We want you to get into great shape by using core enhancing Pilates exercises and strength building yoga poses that lengthen and tone, giving you a dancer like body.

Welcome to our yoga studio! I am so excited to share the benefits of yoga and mat Pilates with you! Since we are new to town, we are still trying to spread the word around about us. Our class schedule will grow as we grow! We expect to add more classes in the morning and afternoon as time goes by. Looking forward to seeing you soon!

Amanda Hamilton, is following her dreams by opening Earth Yoga. Amanda's classes are a fun dynamic mixture of Vinyasa Flow Yoga, breath work, meditation, and freedom style movements all done in the spirit of bhakti yoga (a devotional practice centered on love, gratitude, and compassion). Classes are about burning away what no longer serves us so we may better cultivate a loving and fulfilling relationship with self. Amanda's journey into yoga began a few years ago after graduating from college and leaving behind her political career in Chicago and returning back home to the Monterey Bay Area to find herself burnt out and physically ill. Amanda found yoga during this time and attributes it to her rapid recovery. Amanda took her first teacher training in the Vinyasa Flow style of Yoga in 2008 and then moved to Los Angeles where she taught Power Yoga in Agora Hills and Beginners Yoga in High Schools in South Central LA. Amanda stumbled onto Kirtan (chanting) by accident while in Santa Monica and was shocked at the heart opening transformation that took place in her through this practice. Most recently Amanda had the honor to participate in the Bhakti Yoga Shala's first teacher training with Govindas, who has been an amazing teacher and mentor to her on this journey and to whom she is forever grateful. Om Tat Sat. Only goodness is truth. Jai Ma! Victory to Mother!... See More

Our classes are based in the Anusara Yoga® Tradition founded by John Friend. This dynamic style of Hatha yoga uses the biomechanical principles of alignment to build strength, flexibility, balance and coordination from the inside out. The student is encouraged to embrace the spiritual purpose of yoga by following their heart, and allowing themselves to "flow with grace." All classes begin with a meditative chant to still the mind and bring focus to the body, and end as they began, in a relaxing meditative state.kaya yoga... See More

I am a certified Yoga Teacher. I received my Yoga certification through The Sierra Center for Yoga Studies with Swamimi Bhavani Gerard and Richard Valdez. I teach three Yoga classes a week. Two are in the evening in Cameron Park on Tuesdays and Thursdays upstairs in a lovely loft above Headlines Hair Salon. The third class is held Saturday mornings upstairs above the wonderful Placerville Natural Foods Coop. Come join us!

I teach a unique, fun and high energy style of yoga that incorporates elements of Vinyasa and Kundalini (descriptions of each style are listed below) that allow for much more movement and freedom than traditional, "fixed-pose" yoga classes. The continual movement will also provide you with an added cardiovascular benefit, increased muscle strength and tone, improved endurance and flexibility, stress relief and an improved mood! All of my classes are designed for an immediate "feel-good-all-over" benefit and are easily adjusted for your skill level, from beginner to advanced. One try and you'll be hooked!

Vinyasa - Vinyasa yoga is often faster paced, and the postures are linked together in a series of movements that are synchronized with breathing. The continual movements, from one pose to another, allows for an incredible cardiovascular AND strength training workout. Vinyasa also offers much diversity. The pace can vary and each class is different every time.

Kundalini - Kundalini Yoga incorporates specific breathing techniques that intensify the effects of the poses with the purpose of freeing energy in the lower body and allowing it to move upwards. Kundalini is one of the more spiritual types of yoga. The Kundalini is untapped energy (prana) at the base of the spine that can be drawn up through the body awakening each of the seven chakras. Full enlightenment occurs when this energy reaches the crown chakra at the top of the head. Kundalini can be very physically intense. This type of yoga appeals to those who are up for both mental and physical challenges.... See More
